    I went with 30 with the EMEK lottery.

    "Many scientists believe we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction event caused by ourselves. Based on population numbers required to maintain genetic viability; it is estimated that as many as 30 percent of plant and animal species may become extinct within the next 100 years."

    It'll probably be some other #.

    I have always wondered how many posters are actually printed for an average PJ show?

    500? 700? 1000?

    my guess would be 1,000... 100-200 to the artist... 100-200 online... 50-100 for archives... 500 for the show

    does anybody have any info or educated guess on these numbers?

    I would tweak that a little:

    Ames & Brad are allotted 200 to be signed as AP while other artists are allotted 100 to be signed as AP. The band archives 50 while 10C is allotted 250 for sale. 800 sold at the show.
    So you're thinking 1300-1500?
    1800 were sold at the philly show.. Someone tweeted the photo of the posters being delivered.
    See 2 posts above lol
    Yes. I meant to add to it.

    I know other artists don't get the actual print at the show. They have others made up for their AP's.

    Where's BK? I'm sure he could weigh in on this.
    That's the first time I'm hearing that... I assumed everything was printed at the same time except for special circumstances, for example I think Klausen got permission to reprint the SLC 2009 print since it didn't turn out to his liking in the 1st run?
    I'm pretty sure that all of the posters are all printed at the same time, too.
    It would be cost prohibitive to do a run of just 100-200 posters, they get the best price when printing large quantities like 2,000 posters.
    If 1,800 are available at the concert than I would guess that 100 are kept for the band and/or Ten Club and the other 100 go to the artist as part of his/her compensation.

    I thought it was odd too that the artists would print them up again but I assure you it has happened multiple times.

    Anyone else not get a shipping confirmation on their ft lauderdale? I got the first saying its was on its way to the warehouse or whatever but nothing since.

    Might want to contact them. I received the your order is in queue for shipping (with tracking #) e-mail on May 26, and my poster was delivered today.
    Maybe mine is on the porch too.. With my tampa bootleg I didn't get the shipping confirmation until a week after I got it in the mail lol

    Interesting choice. So many different #'s it could be. Good Luck!!!

    Now if they just don't leave us hanging all day or longer.

    I went with 65, since it had been that many million years since the dinosaur extinction.

    I didn't even think about researching anything about the poster. I went with 19 for my little brothers birthday. He's not yet extinct so he's probably not on Emek's radar.

    Kinda surprised the Greenville poster is still available. Figured it would be gone by now.

    I guess that is a love it or hate it print...maybe enough in the "hate it" camp for it to not sell out quickly....probably in line with Tampa

    hmmm wonder if it was 26, because of this? Really there were a ton of options!

    "In terms of how humans have contributed, three major factors include the increased global concentration of greenhouse gases, affecting the global climate; oceanic devastation, such as through overfishing and contamination; and the modification and destruction of vast tracts of land and river systems around the world to meet solely human-centered ends (with 13 percent of Earth's ice-free land surface now used as row-crop agricultural sites, 26 percent used as pastures, and 4 percent urban-industrial areas), thus ruining the local ecosystems."

    Yeah I'm curious to know what the reasoning is, will probably annoy me more though in the end. haha

    in the past, there has been a reason. That's how I won the Portland AP.

    It is so not random and I hate it. If you're going to do a lottery, just take it completely out of my hands dammit! Otherwise, let me take my chances with the buy button. I don't want to beat myself up afterwards for not going with my original number pick. :cry:

    There were 2 winning numbers. 8 and 26. This is the 8th poster that he has done for Pearl Jam and there are 26 species that are depicted in the poster. I counted them and guessed. Really crazy that happened but Im pretty stoked about it!
